This installation piece, Paint the Strars, is about the connection of artists to seeing God via the splendor of His created world. This assembled piece developed from two quotes. The first quote (seen on the back of the easel) comes from a letter Vincent Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo - "When I have a terrible need of, shall I say the word, religion, I go out and paint the stars." Of course one of Van Gogh's most famous paintings is Starry Night.
The second quote (on the ground under the easel) comes from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - "Then the stars come out and the night is Holy."
